In one of the better rumors flying around the internet it appears there is a new smartphone from LG that has surfaced in Korea.  This new phone known exclusively by its model number LG LU2300 is just another Android phone to be released.  The Android 2.1 device is on par with Google’s Nexus One and HTC’s Desire.  The LG LU2300 comes equipped with a 1GHz processor, 3.5” WVGA AMOLED capacitive display, 5 megapixel camera, 720p DivX compatibility, DMB tuner and of course the ever popular GS, Wi-Fi and 3G combination.  With a set of features like this it is no wonder why people would put this device on par with the other Android power houses such as the Nexus One and Desire.

While it is unknown if this device will ever see a US release it is certain that this device would be able to compete with the other big players in the Android market space.  With comparable features the LU2300 would have no problem attracting buyers in the US market.  I highly doubt that many consumers would have a problem with another fantastic smartphone hitting the market from which they could choose.

It is a shame that this device is not currently being offered in the US.  From the sounds of it this phone appears to be a powerful Android device and has many of the characteristics that unlocked mobile device consumers are looking for.  Personally I would like to get my hands on one of these phones to test out the various functions along with the full QWERTY keyboard while checking out that impressive 1GHz processor that this device boasts.  Only time will tell if those of us in the US market will get to see this device up close and in person.
